A more detailed drawing. Sketched in charcoal and sepia. I've added colour and used sepia as a background and to give her a more natural skin colour. 


I think working on a variety of pictures of the same person helps understand the features better and in the end I hope I will be able to paint her, maybe even from a different angle, and still get the likeness needed for her to be recognized by people who know her.
As I am working on contributions for the "Mix it Monthly" challenge, I link to that inspiring place.

I hope you enjoy the 29 Faces challenge! I do :-)
Thank you for visiting!

  12. I love the dramatic feel of this portrait, which is almost sculptural. The splash of color was a brilliant idea. Blessings!
